Dear Parents,
Here are some highlights of our week. It was a glue filled week!

Mirror Design
This week our friends were invited to draw pictures on mirrors with dry erase markers. They could use gems to accessorize their creations. Morah Felicia asked each friend what they made on their mirror. Our friends got very creative with their answers.
Mina-"I'm drawing a dragon. I'm drawing a green dragon
Zoe- "I'm making a playgroud.
I'm drawing a princess and she is hiding from a dragon."
Jemma- "I'm making sparkles. I'm making Bergans and Trolls."
Hammond- "I'm making a zebra. I'm putting these on my zebra, (placing gems on his mirror) stripes"
Yochai- "Look, I made a firetruck. See, it has two wheels."
Tzippi- "I make a bunny rabbit!"
Math and Fine motor
On an oak tag our friends match colored foam squares to a colored area. The children build color recognition skills, improve fine motor, and follow multiple step directions. They worked two friends at a time gluing and sorting the colored squares filling most of the oak tag to create our own "Persian rug". Our final product is hanging in the classroom. This project lasted all morning. Some friends worked on the piece for a stretch of time and others chose to do a little at a time then leave to check out another center but then came back multiple times to add more colored shapes on.

Creating Palaces
In our art center our friends were invited to create their own palaces made from geometric shapes and and of course glue! Again the children show great self regulation over how much glue to use.
Dramatic Play
This week we turned our Dramatic play kitchen into a royal palace and royal tea parties. Our friends used their crowns they made from last week to role play and pretend to be Kings, Queens, Princes, and Princesses. Just like Queen Esther and King Achashverosh. The children took turns serving and passing tea cups. One day Jemma offered to make cake to serve at the party. She made the cake then King Hammond offered to serve the cake she made. What an extremely kind King! As the week progressed some rice from our sensory ended up in the teacups serving as "tea" This was a pretty messy exploration and discovery.
